None-the-less, for those that insist to have the "impact factor" we suggest
Google Scholar Metrics because
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp the h5-index is simple to understand, hard to manipulate, and provides a reasonable
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp if crude measure of the respect accorded to a journal by scholars within its field.
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp While journal metrics are no guarantee of the quality of a journal, if they are going to be used
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp we should use the best available, and Google’s h5-index is a big improvement on the ISI impact factor.
